Chapter 852: The Outing of a God

Li Yi had now become a god. According to the traditional rules of this world, the territory of a god was at least one thousand li. Of course, if the god was still not satisfied, he could fight everywhere to expand his territory.

However, most gods would do this, because territory was wealth, and it was the foundation for inheritance and reproduction. Within the territory, the god's clansmen could obtain more slaves, more prey, and could also collect Chijin from more Shang Lords.

Even if Li Yi had no intention of expanding his territory, Shenmu City still had to belong to him. And as his fame as a god spread, tribes within this thousand-li area would send powerful warriors to join the Kingdom of Chijin.

This was both allegiance and seeking protection.

Because tribes that pledged allegiance to a god could avoid the risk of being annexed and ensure the reproduction and inheritance of the tribe.

Today.

From the direction of Chijin Mountain, thunder rolled in. In the middle of that thunder, a giant wearing Chijin battle armor and stepping on auspicious clouds was now striding on this ancient land.

Wherever he passed, all strange beasts on the earth trembled and could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground.

Any warrior with a little experience knew that this was a god on an outing.

Li Yi did not restrain his own power at this moment, but walked swaggeringly in mid-air. He wanted to use this behavior to tell the people on this land that from now on, this would be the territory of a god.

"God of Thunder, has this ancient land finally welcomed its own god?"

"That is the former Lord of Chishan. He has already passed the tribulation and trial and become a true god."

"The God of Chishan, he is patrolling his future kingdom."

As Li Yi passed by, the tribes and Shang Lords along the way all exclaimed, and at the same time, they quickly spread the news of the God of Chijin to every place, letting everyone know what had happened here.

"Let the most powerful warriors and the most beautiful women of the tribe go to Chijin Mountain. We want to join the Kingdom of Chijin and recognize the god Dayi as our Lord." The High Priest of a tribe immediately made a decision.

They had lived here for generations. Since a god had appeared, they only had two choices: either migrate out like the warriors of the Shenmu lineage, or defect.

The vast majority of tribes would, of course, choose to defect. Only tribes with a Lord of the Baishan would choose to migrate.

Because a Lord of the Baishan possessed the potential to become a god, there was no need to defect to a god. And warriors with the strength of a Lord of the Baishan could live very well wherever they went. Migration was not a bad thing for them.

Li Yi merely walked on the earth and had already changed the fate of everyone on this land. This was the influence of a god.

Soon.

His body, a hundred zhang tall, appeared outside Shenmu City.

Countless bolts of lightning intertwined in the sky, and a giant like a god appeared in everyone's sight. The terrifying aftermath spread, and everyone in Shenmu City felt suffocated.

"The God of Chishan has come."

In the city, the wise man of the Shenmu lineage, Master Mu Sang Gong, saw this scene and was instantly lost. Finally, a trace of helplessness appeared on his old face.

Although he already knew the news of the Shenmu Lord's defeat and death and the Shenmu lineage fleeing, when he truly saw the God of Chishan appear, he still felt a sense of grief.

Everyone was admiring the God of Chishan, but who knew the tragedy of the Shenmu lineage? Clearly, the Shenmu Lord also had the opportunity to become a god and make the Shenmu lineage prosperous again. Why did he let the opponent take the lead?

And the battle some time ago, why did the Shenmu Lord let the North Wind Lord return to Shenmu City? If the three Lords of the Baishan had joined forces at that time, perhaps they could have blocked the opponent's path to godhood.

The Shenmu lineage had made too many mistakes.

Master Mu Sang Gong sighed heavily at this moment. He no longer looked up at that god, but walked toward the depths of Shenmu City. He was already old and did not follow the warriors of the Shenmu City lineage to flee. He felt that even if he were to die, he would die under the golden leaves.

Looking at the sacred tree in Shenmu City, he was even more grieved.

The complete sacred tree had a main branch cut off by that North Wind Lord and brought back to the Kingdom of Youfeng. This was simply the shame of the Shenmu lineage.

Li Yi also noticed at this moment that the sacred tree was incomplete. A thick trunk had been felled, causing the originally lush canopy to directly lack a corner, looking very ugly.

"That Youfeng Lord is truly ruthless." Although he had known about this matter early on, seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel angry.

One must know that this sacred tree was his own. He had worked hard to defeat the Shenmu Lord and the Dahuang Lord, and had finally seized Shenmu City, only to have others pick up the bargain. One must know that such a large section of the sacred tree could refine how many Dao weapons. Those were all capital for resisting the Heaven-Tilting event in the future.

"Sooner or later, I will go to the Kingdom of Youfeng and snatch it back." Li Yi thought to himself.

It was just that he had only just become a god and it was not yet time to offend another god. After all, gods also had differences in strength.

"It is Tai Yi who has come."

At this moment, in Shenmu City, over a hundred cultivation experts had already controlled the entire great city. They were stationed in various places, stabilizing the situation and preventing people from causing trouble. And among them, Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi sat in the City Lord's Mansion.

Their strength was not weak, second only to the Lord of the Baishan, so guarding a great city was naturally no problem at all.

However, even so, there were still traces of the battle in the city.

Because during this period, there were warriors of the Shenmu lineage counterattacking, and there were also Mountain Lord-level warriors trying to seize the sacred tree, and there were even slave owners in the city waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. It was precisely because of these things that the two did not dare to return to Chijin Mountain.

They were afraid that if they left, the sacred tree would be cut bald by others.

Seeing Li Yi arrive, the two brought a group of cultivation experts to welcome him out.

Li Yi was still standing above Shenmu City at this moment. He was draped in thunder, showing his might, and issued a majestic shout: "I am the Chijin Mountain Lord, now a god. From now on, Shenmu City will be under my rule."

His voice exploded in the city accompanied by lightning, deterring everyone in the city.

In fact, Li Yi didn't need to say much. The moment he appeared, Shenmu City had already completely returned to calm. No one dared to challenge the majesty of a god, even a Lord of the Baishan had to lower his head.

Li Yi's gaze patrolled the whole city. He noticed several particularly powerful warriors. Those warriors had at least the strength of an Eighty Mountain Lord.

And these God-Blood Warriors naturally felt the peeping of a god and immediately became nervous.

However, Li Yi did not make a move. He was just deterring everyone, not wanting to bring about slaughter. The Shenmu lineage had already paid the price, and as for the others, they had not participated in the previous great battle, so they were innocent.

Li Yi, after becoming a god, wanted peace on this land, so that he could better borrow the resources of the savage world to support the two hundred or so cultivation experts under his command, preparing for the subsequent cross-dimensional battle.

So he did not want chaos to appear.

After the deterrence was completed, Li Yi cast the Size-as-You-Wish Technique, his figure immediately disappeared from the thunder, and then flew into the City Lord's Mansion.

Just by getting close.

Li Yi felt the scorching aura emitted by the sacred tree. However, this scorching heat could no longer cause any impact on an existence of his level, but weak warriors could not withstand the scorching of the sacred tree and would be burned to ashes.

"What a sacred tree, pure and incomparable energy, bright and brilliant." He exclaimed.

Guarding such a treasure, the Shenmu lineage was truly wasting heaven's gifts.
